The species grows as a shrub or small tree up to about 6 m in height, with a diameter rarely more than 30 cm. The bark is finely layered. The leaves are about 25–60 mm long by 3–6 mm wide, and very aromatic when crushed. The flowers are cream to pink, with spherical inflorescences, the petals 3–6 mm long. The round fruits are about 10–20 mm in diameter. [1]
The species is found is north-east Queensland, including the Cape York Peninsula. It grows on the sandy soils of dunes and sand hills, in monsoon forest or vine thickets, at an altitude from near sea level to 150 m. [1]
Asteromyrtus is a genus of flowering plants in the Myrtaceae family. Asteromyrtus was described as a genus in 1843. It is closely related to Callistemon and Melaleuca. The genus was subsequently subsumed into Melaleuca and Sinoga, but was reinstated by Lyndley Craven in 1988 to accommodate seven species, all of which are tropical shrubs or small trees native to New Guinea, Maluku, or northern Australia.
Hakea salicifolia commonly known as the willow-leaved hakea, is species of flowering plant that is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an adaptable, fast growing small tree or shrub with attractive foliage and cream white flowers.

Eidothea zoexylocarya is a species of tall rainforest trees endemic to north-eastern Queensland, Australia and constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. In European–Australian science, these trees were only recognised in recent decades, first from the slopes of Mount Bartle Frere, the Queensland mountain which reaches the highest altitude. In 1995, scientific descriptions of the trees, as this genus and type species, were published for the first time by Andrew W. Douglas and Bernie Hyland. The species name refers to the almost identical fossil fruit Xylocaryon lockiiF.Muell., from Ballarat, southern Australia, still extant in this north-eastern Australian species.

Lasjia is a genus of five species of trees of the family Proteaceae. Three species grow naturally in northeastern Queensland, Australia and two species in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Descriptively they are the tropical or northern macadamia trees group. Lasjia species characteristically branched compound inflorescences differentiate them from the Macadamia species, of Australia, which have characteristically unbranched compound inflorescences and only grow naturally about 1,000 km (620 mi) further to the south, in southern and central eastern Queensland and in northeastern New South Wales.
